Scientists at UC San Diego have generated some fantastic CG pictures of neurons forming memory in the brain, based on research that generated evidence of how our brains change in response to experience.
"The long-term memories stored in our brain last our entire lives, so everybody had assumed that there must be lasting structural changes between neurons in the brain," says Michael A. Colicos, a postdoctoral fellow at UCSD and the lead author of the paper. "Although there's been a lot of suggestive evidence to indicate that this is the case, it's never before been directly observed."
